Every torch you pick up add 5 minutes to your "lit" time. You can't buy torches, so you have to make do with the ones you find or the rare torch drops off specific enemies.

Having an option to give us infinite torch time would definitely help a ton.

I never saw a torch. I never ran across a torch. I never needed a torch either..

perhaps you can tell me more about them?

best,Cal

I think there's one behind that cart at the very first bonfire you find. You can light it at a bonfire or an already lit torch sconce, and you can use it to light unlit torch sconces. I'm not 100% sure what they're used for lol. I had no idea they ran out, I just keep relighting mine when it goes out.

Torches enable you to see in dark areas, or light fires. Also light those fire torch stand thingies as well, and they stay light forever.

As for Soul Memory, aka Soul Platinum. It's based on how many Souls you obtain in the game, and is a permanent number. It directly determines your PVP and Co-op encouters, if you aren't within close proximity of Soul Level and Soul Memory, then you can't PVP, or Co-op with that person.

Take a look at this as well

darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Summon+Range+Calculator#.U1n_k_ldV68

This is a calculator, to tell you the range you need to be for Soul Memory and Soul Level to PVP.

I suggest adding an option, to decrease Soul Memory, so you can lower it, then have the option to Co-op or PVP with friends.
